OKC • Shooting Guard • #22

Wallace has been an excellent source of steals all season, but he has stepped up offensively recently with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal) sidelined. He matched his career high for scoring in this game, which he initially set earlier this month. This outing came two days after he set a career high for assists. He has been on quite the heater recently and should be a strong option as long as the Thunder are shorthanded.

With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal) still sidelined, Wallace has taken on extra usage as the lead ball handler. In this game, that led to him setting a new career high for assists. His last few games prior to this one had been rough, but he had a few other strong performances with SGA out before that. SGA will miss at least two more games before he is re-evaluated, so Wallace should continue to occupy a high-usage role.

Wallace continues to produce with the Thunder missing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is out through the All-Star break at least. The 22-year-old guard led the Thunder with 23 points on 16 attempts and chipped in four rebounds and four assists. He also had four steals. Wallace is worth rostering in most leagues until SGA returns.

While he wasn’t one of Oklahoma City’s three 20-point scorers, Wallace recorded a complete stat line as the lone holdover in the starting lineup. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be out until the All-Star break at least, and Ajay Mitchell is also out due to injury. As a result, Wallace will be worth rostering in some 12-team leagues. Even with the Thunder playing just one more game in Week 16, he’s worth adding now due to the team’s injuries on the perimeter.

As a team, the Thunder shot 8-of-11 from beyond the arc, but Wallace was hot all night. The third-year guard finished with career-highs in points and three-pointers while also providing solid value in the rebound and steal categories. With Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell out, Wallace has more room to provide value offensively, raising his fantasy ceiling. The Thunder play three games in Week 16, starting with the Magic on Tuesday.

Wallace is back after a one-game absence with a sore left hip. His return may push Aaron Wiggins to the bench, but both will be part of the rotation regardless of who starts.

Cason Wallace has been upgraded to questionable, which is good news after missing Tuesday’s game against the Pelicans. The third-year guard hasn’t quite produced as well as he did a season ago, but remains a key defender who can knock down the three-point shot. If available on Thursday, fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him to put up any spectacular stat line.

Wallace exited early from Sunday’s game, and he will remain out against New Orleans. With Alex Caruso (adductor) and Ajay Mitchell (abdominals) out as well, Aaron Wiggins should step into the starting lineup and have upside as a streaming option.

Wallace left Sunday’s loss to the Raptors due to what was described as a sore groin, but he’s on the injury report for Tuesday due to a sore left hip. With Ajay Mitchell (abdominals) already out, Aaron Wiggins would be the most likely starter if Wallace can’t play against New Orleans.

Wallace played 16 minutes before being ruled out for the rest of Sunday’s game, finishing with three points, one rebound and one assist. Aaron Wiggins entered the lineup to begin the third quarter, and he would have deep-league streaming value if Wallace misses time.

The Thunder are much closer to full strength than they were for Friday’s win over the Grizzlies, with Isaiah Hartenstein the only rotation player unavailable. Wallace will move into the starting lineup, bumping Aaron Wiggins to the bench.

Wallace was one of multiple Thunder players who did not play in Friday’s win over the Grizzlies. His absence factored into Brooks Barnhizer playing eight minutes off the bench, while starter Aaron Wiggins logged 32. Wiggins recently replaced Wallace, who had been filling in for Isaiah Hartenstein, as the Thunder’s fifth starter.

Due to a sore left great toe, Wallace will miss a game for the first time since October 23. After starting five games in place of the injured Isaiah Hartenstein, Wallace came off the bench for the last two, with Aaron Wiggins starting. Wiggins should retain that role on Friday and is worth streaming in fantasy leagues.

Wallace, who had to exit Friday’s win over the Warriors just before halftime with a sore right knee, is good to go for the Thunder’s final game of the week. He should continue to start, filling the void left by the injured Isaiah Hartenstein.

Due to a sore right knee, Wallace exited Friday’s win over the Warriors just before halftime and did not return. If he’s unable to play against Phoenix, more minutes become available to Ajay Wallace and Aaron Wiggins, with the former likely starting for the injured Isaiah Hartenstein.

Wallace suffered a right knee contusion, which limited him to 14 minutes. The third-year guard finished with two points (1-of-4 FGs), three rebounds, one assist and two steals. If Wallace has to miss time, Aaron Wiggins is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup. Wiggins started the third quarter, finishing with 15 points (5-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, one block and three three-pointers in 27 minutes.

While Williams and Holmgren are available for the second game of Oklahoma City’s home back-to-back, Isaiah Hartenstein is not. As has usually been the case, Wallace moves into the starting lineup, which bumps Dort, Williams and Holmgren down a position.

Wallace has been one of the league’s most active defenders so far through the first couple of weeks of the season. He notched a season-high in steals on Sunday, which marked the third time this season he’s collected at least four steals in a game. He also made multiple three-pointers and finished Sunday’s contest as one of eight Thunder players to score in double figures. The third-year guard has followed a nice sophomore campaign with a productive start to Year 3.

After missing Friday’s game, Wallace is back in the starting lineup. That will push Aaron Wiggins back to a reserve role, though he should still play plenty of minutes off the bench against the short-handed Hawks.

Initially questionable for Saturday’s game, Wallace is available after missing Thursday’s double-overtime win over the Pacers with a sore knee. He should move back into his usual spot in the starting lineup, especially with the Thunder needing to account for Trae Young. Aaron Wiggins, who started against Indiana, will likely head to the bench. However, his minutes should not take a significant hit since Jalen Williams and Isaiah Joe remain out.

Wallace missed Thursday’s game against the Pacers and is now questionable for Saturday’s game against the Hawks. With Isaiah Joe (knee) also out Thursday, Ajay Mitchell played 38 minutes in the double overtime win. Mitchell could be in line for more work if Wallace is out again Saturday.

Wallace was listed as questionable on Wednesday following a double overtime win against the Rockets, but it now appears he will not suit up at all. The Thunder are likely just being overly cautious in their second game of the season, but with Isaiah Joe (knee) out, Ajay Mitchell could be counted on for a bigger role on Thursday. However, Luguentz Dort (ankle) will suit up, so that’s positive news for the Thunder.

The Thunder emerged from Tuesday’s double-overtime win over the Rockets with a lengthy injury report, including Wallace, Luguentz Dort (ankle) and Alex Caruso (concussion) in addition to other key injuries. While Caruso won’t play on Thursday, Wallace and Dort are questionable. More will be required of Aaron Wiggins and Ajay Mitchell, especially with Jalen Williams (wrist) and Isaiah Joe (knee) also out.

Wallace was the choice to start Tuesday’s opener with Jalen Williams (wrist) unavailable, and the third-year guard was effective on both ends of the floor. He finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line and hit a three with 1:32 remaining in double overtime to give Oklahoma City a one-point lead. Wallace finished last season as a top-100 fantasy player, so Tuesday’s production was unsurprising to those familiar with his game. Not only should he be rostered while J-Dub is out, but Wallace will be worth holding onto after the Thunder return to full strength.

The reigning champion Thunder open their season without a key starter, Jalen Williams, who is out with a right wrist injury. His place in the starting lineup will be taken by Wallace, who started 43 of the 68 games he appeared in last season. Wallace was a top-100 fantasy player last season and can provide similar value in 2025-26, even after J-Dub returns.

Wallace averaged just 8.4 points in 27 minutes per game last year. Against the Bucks on Tuesday, he had nine points in 27 minutes. The eight assists were intriguing, though. Wallace averaged just 2.5 assists per game last year in the regular season, though he 3.6 assists per game in 25 minutes per game over five games in the Western Conference finals last year. Maybe Wallace could have more of a playmaking role this year, which would certainly be a boost to his otherwise middling fantasy value. The 21-year-old shooting guard could also see a boost in minutes if Jalen Williams (wrist) is out to begin the season.

So far, the Thunder have used the same starting five for the entire postseason despite changing things up regularly throughout the regular season. However, Wallace will replace Isaiah Hartenstein in the starting unit to give OKC another strong perimeter defender and to match up better with Indiana’s frontcourt. Expect Hartenstein to still play a significant role off the bench.

Outside of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (25 points), the OKC starters struggled on the offensive end. However, Wallace, Aaron Wiggins (11 points) and Alex Caruso (10 points) were able to make up for the struggles of the starting five. Wallace made his presence felt on both ends of the floor to help OKC tie this series back up and retake homecourt advantage. This was Wallace’s best game of the postseason, and he’ll look to remain productive in Game 5 in OKC on Tuesday.

The lone change is Wallace, whose move into the starting lineup means Isaiah Hartenstein will come off the bench. Managers who have Hartenstein rostered should not be too concerned, as his fantasy value should be fine despite being used as a reserve.

Wallace is one of three rotation players unavailable for Tuesday’s game, with Jalen Williams and Aaron Wiggins being the others. Kenrich Williams has moved into the starting lineup but has not been productive enough on most nights to merit being streamed when allowed to start.
